I can see that. However, those in power are not going to trust very many people with guns. Just the obedient little Nazis

American fascists are, obviously, very scared about how big a protest "No Kings" will be this weekend, as seen by their hysterical, dishonest rhetoric about it.

Let's make their fears come true by showing up on October 18

Welch: Mike Johnson-If he's a big Christian, he should be fighting for the marginalized, fighting for the poor. But instead he weaponizes his faith to lure voters in and then dicks him over every chance he gets.

ICYMI — PELOSI: “Shut up. I did not refuse the National Guard. The President didn’t send it. Why are you coming here with Republican talking points as if you’re a serious journalist?”

Sanders: Saturday, millions of people are going to come out on a No Kings day. Speaker Johnson said this is a hate America rally because people are coming out expressing their concerns.. It’s not a hate America rally, it's a love America rally.

BERNIE: “I worry we are increasingly becoming an oligarchic form of society, where a very small # of people control our economy + have huge influence over both political parties. if there was ever a time to stand up for working families and prevent authoritarianism, this is it.”

I’m old enough to remember when we had a system of checks & balances that involved Congress, when Congress controlled the purse and legislated, and the president respected the Constitution & rule of law. I’m old enough to remember when a U.S. president wouldn’t want to be King George or a dictator.

🔥 @aoc.bsky.social says Republicans have been successful with a clear message of division, which helps Trump, Musk and the Billionaires keep us divided as they “get away with highway robbery” — and to counter that Dems need to be equally clear in their message of solidarity.

Collins: Speaker Johnson that Republicans are actually the party that wants to fix health care by addressing issues with it, as he says they did in the one big beautiful bill.

Sanders: Did he really say that? They're trying to fix health care by throwing 15 million people off of it?

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious
